Our kids LOVED Halloween this year! And what's not to love? Well, when you're a kid, nothing! Fun costumes (that your parents actually ENCOURAGE you to wear around the neighborhood!), free candy, and partying past bedtime! It's a kid's dream. It's different for parents. :) We lack the carefree bliss of childhood. We count calories (do you KNOW how many calories are in each of those Reese's that just keep calling my name?), we want to dress up but lack the motivation, and we know our kids have had too much sugar to have any chance of going to bed early. Oh to be a kid again! That being said, we actually did have a fun Halloween. We had a very last minute little Halloween Party lunch at our house on Friday afternoon, decorated sugar cookies and made crafts with friends, then after naps the kids got back into their costumes and trick-or-treated in the rain until their bags were good and heavy. Afterward we hung around the Bowen's house letting our kids run around the unfinished basement hoping that sugar high would wear off - good theory, but no such luck. All-in-all, it was a fun Halloween Night! Happy Halloween to all!
Cute Baby Max really enjoyed the party! (Thanks Janette for letting me sneak a picture ;)
The cute little trick-or-treaters ready to go! Aren't we mean parents, we make them wear warm costumes so they don't have to wear winter coats over the top - this year it backfired, though, because the costumes just soaked up the rain and got pretty wet and heavy! Ooops!

They looked so dang cute! I love those costumes, I will be all about the warm costumes. Even if it is not cold outside I can see myself forever layering my kids up!
You will have to send me that picture of Max =). Thanks for letting us party at our house and for making Halloween afternoon fun.
